ISO control, which offers you from Auto up to 1600, now sits on the top of the body in a slightly unusual place, but is easy enough to get to, as in the 450D, with similar performance. ![]() Other controls within these major mode selections are handled via the back buttons, allowing you to change the more detailed settings, exposure compensation, white balance, focusing, metering and so on. As with Canon’s other DSLR cameras, main modes are selected on the top dial, with the usual A-DEP, M, Av, Tv, P and full auto, with scene selections for portrait, landscape, macro, sports, night and no flash all catered for, just as you'll find on the other models. Compared to the 400D that it effectively replaces, it does feel a little plasticky, not helped by the slightly larger buttons.Ĭanon users will instantly recognise the buttons and menu systems which reflect the rest of their range of cameras, so for those that do step-up (from an Ixus, for example) things will be easy to get a handle on. There is the usual right-hand grip arrangement with space on the back for your thumb to lie without hitting any of the controls. The body of the camera is typical DSLR size and shape, slightly smaller than the 450D, but slightly larger than the 400D. However, it will work with EF and EF-S lenses, so those moving from a film SLR will be able to use some of their existing glass. We tested the camera with Canon’s EFS 18-55mm IS lens, which is the standard kit lens for this model. The new 1000D is aimed again at the newcomer to DSLR photography who wants more creative features and control than a compact camera will offer. The "1000" model number does, however, hark back to Canon’s film DSLRs, where the EOS 1000 was the entry model. ![]() ![]() That said, if you are looking for a Canon at this entry point, it is worth reading up on both the EOS 400D and EOS 450D, so you know what you are getting. There may be a little head-scratching to determine whether this is a new camera, or a rehash of the previous entry model the EOS 400D, or a feature-reduced EOS 450D, combining specs found on both models. ![]() (Pocket-lint) - Canon’s range of DLRs seem to have gone through something of a phase shift, moving the specs up the range and allowing Canon to create a new entry-level point for the new digital EOS 1000D, under the current EOS 450D.
